Roboquest Review | WHY HAVEN'T YOU PLAYED THIS?

I'm going to go do another run I swear to God

[@Twiggy1942]

Thank you for the video Bricky, Have a good day

30 seconds in and there goes 30$... thanks bricky!

CONGRATULATIONS ON 1MIL :D I'm so happy for you.

you forgot the steam link in the description

[@elliotyun6850]

Hey! I'm one of the dev of the game. Thanks so much for featuring our game! It's an honor :) Many of us (at the studio) watched your video and we enjoyed it a lot. You have a way to introduce and present things in a very butter smooth way, it's impressive. Lots of love from France

Thanks for bringing the game to GOG! I decided to give it a go and it just feels so good to play. :D

METS FUCKING GOOOO!!!!

[@michaelpressley8040]

Yeah I remember playing roboquest back when it was in beta and wondering “how have people not Been talking about this?” Glad to see its getting the attention it deserves

[@mage0534]

Yeah man, literally played since the first version of beta here as well. Will say I am sad since I haven't played the full release since the audio is like GIGGA bugged for me and I don't know how to fix it.

[@silveredbullet802]

​@@mage0534Nothing like a good reinstall would fix, if not maybe drivers. Much worse? Might be your hardware, mobo and such.

[@burnin8able]

Me and some buds picked it up back then too, blasted through what was available at the time and would occasionally come back for a few runs after a few updates came out. Absolutely blown away by all the new stuff they added in the 1.0 update. Practically doubled the content from the previous version

[@chukyuniqul]

Makes a poor first impression. Not a bad one, mind. Can't really explain it tbh, it just looks like a lotta hot air.

[@michaelpressley8040]

@@chukyuniqul what?

[@frost7842]

My friend sold me on Roboquest with "It's like Gunfire Reborn but buttery smooth" and oh boy, been some time since I've played a game with gameplay loop so good I've forgot what time is.

[@Why_It]

My friends and I played Gunfire Reborn too much for what it was. It was just a small and easy to get into roguelike. Roboquest is objectively a better game, just wish I had the time to play it with friends.

[@Excalibaard]

I really prefer Gunfire Reborn's characters and enemy designs, due to the setting in Roboquest everything is the same robot with slight changes in behavior (exception for the bosses perhaps). But yeah, the Roboquest gameplay and soundtrack are just absolutely nuts

[@frost7842]

​@@Excalibaard To be honest from gameplay perspective the designs of the enemies is similar in both games, but yeah, characters in Gunfire feel more customizable than in Roboquest

[@kylejohnson8387]

Funny you say that, my buddy had played a bit of Gunfire Reborn. I turned him into this title and he loved everything about it, gameplay wise

[@GabidenZhazylbekov]

​@@ExcalibaardDevs sacrificed design due to fast gameplay so you won't get distracted. On highest difficulty game turns into bullet hell.

[@HoundNL]

i think it's so poetic how when the original Doom launched every FPS that followed was called a "Doom Clone" for some time before people came up with the term "FPS", and now, since DOOM 2016 revolutionized again, every FPS with similar gun-play and movement is also called a "Modern Doom Like", amazing.

[@SL4PSH0CK]

i dig the typified "doom-clones" when they added another genre like bear in Space w/ comedy and bullet hell to roboquest roguelite borderlands. W-mix genre

[@RobertBoston-n4d]

Doom 2016 is a Quake Arena clone tho. I know, you noobz can't be expected to know everything.

[@Ronin11111111]

My only complaint is that the song XFlash is reserved for the speedrun challange level and you never visit that after finishing it once. But that song goes so hard maaaaaaan. Soundtrack of 2023 for me 100%

[@Asfalgadi]

Best song for running i ever heard in a video game

[@avalanche4815]

I personally wish Guardian had a longer section, either way the game needs a jukebox like Tekken has, where you can choose which song for which section.

[@Ronin11111111]

@@avalanche4815 Yeah, I wouldn't say no to a third arena. Maybe as something optional? Either way, Guardian is up there with Metal Hero and XFlash as my top 3(don't ask in what order).

[@JeancarlosRPerez]

I would like to add, hell yeah, this game sound track is fucking amazing. One of the few games I don't put my own music too and just jam with their dynamic music :)

[@eaterofbread.2222]

This. This I agree with

[@Selgald]

Playing as a robot sounds undemocratic, let me call my Democracy Officer.

[@kavitiko335]

But hes on the side of humanity - maybe he's just a roving sentry turret? Dare I commit maybe a thought crime? "There's nothing inherently wrong with the automatons - they're just socialists, and therefore, evil."

[@deanruskov9025]

but you're spilling hella oil which is pretty democratic... So democracy neutral?

[@Dohoar]

Robot isn't cyborg. Your's backpack flying friend also robot, sir.

[@NotArtorias]

No need sarge, its just undercover work. Gotta think like a bot to kill a bot

[@Epicmonk117]

Robots are not inherently undemocratic (hell, we even employ a few, like our sentries and guard dogs). It’s specifically the Automatons that oppose our way of life.

[@Jormyyy]

I HAVEN'T PLAYED ROBOQUEST YET BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TOO BUSY PLAYING VAMPIRE SURVIVORS PER YOUR RECOMMENDATION/ REVIEW VIDEO!!

[@djkj_]

If you like run and guns and footstooling in smash bros then you should try it

[@ShockedTaiLung]

The soundtrack for this game goes so unnecessarily hard

[@sweet-lara]

Nope, great games deserve great soundtracks!

[@AppleFudge]

noisecream is the goat

[@W1KTORious]

Final metal hero deservers to an anthem

[@RobertBoston-n4d]

Find me a great game with shit music. They don't exist. Music is important and a part of the deal.

[@TRDRHDB]

Bricky is one step away from reviewing ultrakill

[@TheSrbBrownBear]

jokes on you bricky, i played this game before they even had all the bosses out, the game is fun as hell but let me tell you one thing, its 100000% more fun with a friend , not only cuz everything is fun with friends..but because having a +1 on your side spawns like 10x more enemies.. and more enemies IS MORE FUN BROTHEEEEEER ( it also makes it harder there for more satesfying..if you play solo you are doing yourself a deservice in fun )

[@H8K11]

AYO BRICKY ROBOQUEST VIDEO?!?!?! THIS IS AWESOME

[@OneSybert]

As a dad with young kids I like that I can get a Doom like gunplay experience but without the aesthetic. Even more so with the co-op component. It's nice to have competent, challenging games that I'm OK with the kids watching and playing, and this seems right up that alley.

[@wh3nderson95]

Noisecream being part of the soundtrack is a sign of quality for the game. My Friend Pedro, Midnight Fight Express, and RoboQuest. You're gonna be in nirvana when playing.

[@AlphasVideos]

I love Roboquest so much! I'm so glad you decided to cover it, and I hope this teacher/student project gets some more attention thanks to this!

[@TheKirBoi]

Good man, good man. As someone whose been playing this game since early 2021 you've done this little gem of a game a just service and then some and I thank you deeply for that. Fun Fact: This game's OST is so fire that in the last two years in a row it's scored at least a minimum of 20 out of the 100 spaces in my most played songs on Spotify.

[@noscopemonkey3369]

Not enough people talk about the OST of this game. Noisescream is amazing

[@edd4760]

A quick letter of recommendation from someone who has 100% on *Roboquest, PLEASE* try out *Gunfire Reborn!* It is, and I'm not being hyperbolic here, one of the most underrated games out there right now. If you need a quick overview on it, take the Movement & Shooting of Borderlands, slap in the combo's and items of something like Vampire Survivors and then add a Rottweiler that can dual wield miniguns chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO and you have *Gunfire*

[@sebastianturner2458]

Roboquest has more movement, gunfire reborn lets you do some _real_ minmax combo bullshit. I like em both, though I think Gunfire Reborn might have a teeny edge just for having more varied guns and characters with more gimmicks.

[@edd4760]

@@sebastianturner2458 Couldn’t have put it better myself. While Roboquest is without a shadow of a doubt incredible, the feeling of being able to *ONE SHOT GOD* is just… _Mwah_ *Chefs Kiss*

[@ryanburke1656]

Problem with gunfire reborn that negates literally every single positive everyone has to say about it: moving feels bad. It's really slow and you constantly feel like you're in the purple GOO from Doom Eternal. Roboquest is how I want it to feel, you know?

[@ryanburke1656]

I'd rather play Quake, with 7 guns and great movement control, than borderlands, with a million guns and glacial movement control.

[@waszner]

@@ryanburke1656 I find this super interesting. Especially since both Doom Eternal and Gunfire have dodge, while Roboquest doesn't. Me and my friends (having played Gunfire first) felt the other way around because of the lack of dodge. Roboquest has more vertical movement and the sliding, but we were really missing a dodge from it.

[@LiquidWasabi]

Damn I remember 500k subscribers days. Congrats on the Mil Bricky !! 🎉

[@victorvidales6275]

This game has been in my library for while. It's such a good game to hop in to for a warmup shooter.

[@Tallerixoo]

This is exactly the same sentiment I have, it's great to warm up on the sticks as it's so hectic and for the most part probably has you doing more than most pvps. Great trainer + quality weapons and affixes this is a great game.

[@postbubevaloran1170]

The soundtrack be boppin also i love how it loops on the "intro" of every song till you open the door and then its literally like the memes "when the Doom Music kicks in"

[@kaenethxenyhen1709]

literally started playing this a couples weeks back! what a coincidence! (and blessing cuz bricky upload). gonna 100% it and then play with my homies.

[@adrianwilliams6577]

YEAHH ROBOQUEST!!!!!

[@peters9329]

I love Noisecream since I heard them in My Friend Pedro and Midnight Fight Express

[@samadams8533]

Saw this game on your second channel and its cool to see it getting a full video, any chance we are going to get a disco elysium video in the future? You seemed to really enjoy that game

[@williamkeefe1994]

Hey Bricky~~~! Remember when you said you’d do Mass Effect retrospectives on the all the games if you got to 1 million~? CUZ I DO!! In all seriousness dude I would PAY you to do all those, and if you don’t remember it was from the COD Ghosts Extinction video you made at the very end with the quote “If we get a million subs I’ll do a retrospective on the Mass Effect series, I don’t think a single one of those videos will be under an hour long.”

[@tyrminus9579]

Dude, you gotta try ultrakill next man If you love these doom-like shooter games, then I think it would be cool to see you try it next It's got immense violence AND a sick ass robot mc, check it out sometime

[@coffee0093]

I absolutely adore the aesthetic of scrappy/homemade weapons in games

[@Dohoar]

My only problem with this game - i don't have friends to close last achievements. Noisecream destroyed my playlist and took a position in its place by the way. Great game.

[@rawcyan8730]

Ziggurat my beloved, you return to me in a new sci-fi form but I shall alway recognize you

[@prosac_war]

I like it, It just felt way too easy

[@brandon9621]

​@@prosac_war because it is way to easy

[@Brighton24601]

9:36 Absolutely loved the “Buddy Holly” guitars for Alt

[@socksleeve]

Fav build by far is with Commando. His shotty ability can be changed to sniper shotty, which does increased crit damage. Then you can get an upgrade that completely removes the cooldown if you get a crit hit. Then you get critical geometry so every crit bounces. You barely need your actually gun at this point

[@SgtFCFox]

9:55 not to be that guy but the “recalls” are just software updates. The media loves to blow things way out of proportion. My teacher has a Tesla and has never once even mentioned it needing to be sent back to manufacturer.

[@MarcelloVT]

Congrats on 1 million subs bricky! I watched you way back when you you did league content. I used to use your champion main guides to help me learn and pick champs. Now you’re one of my favorite creators hands down for gaming and Warhammer! :D

[@Juggernaut1782]

I ended up trying this with game pass months ago last year even and went honestly shocked it wasn't as big as i felt it should be with how smooth it played and how fast paced it could he

[@IvyIsSly]

Man I am so happy that you covered this Bricky. I've been playing from one of the EA builds just waiting for a bigger channel to shed more and more light on this gem of a game that just keeps getting better.

[@Adeptus_Miniatures]

Congrats on the mili Brickster! Much deserved and well earned! Here's to another million! I got into this game about a month before you streamed it and was really excited to see you pick it up. I was not disappointed in the review. Great as always!

[@citizengraves1632]

Yes, @Bricky, you did actually sell me on the game at around 1:53 into the video, and I did buy it before listening to everything you have to say about it. Matter of fact, I bought the deluxe edition that includes the soundtrack long before seeing that part in your video where you talk about how much the music slaps!

[@MrSirTacoman]

Something I'm super surprised you didn't mention by the way that I think is very very VERY worth mentioning is how much the gameplay loop changes as you level up and unlock more accessories, you go from basically a roomba unable to really leave the ground bar just jumping with the occasional railslide. All the way to playing the floor is lava like you were 5 years old on the playground at recess.

[@mailcs06]

After getting the grappling hook and ground-stomp cape, the movement kinda starts to feel like Ultrakill’s (aside from the lack of slam storage and other slam jumps, and having a jetpack), which is a very good thing. You can zip all over the place if you’re good at the game.

[@MILOPETIT]

I'm starting to think he's not gonna make that Disco Elysium video

[@ohgodno1989]

I played this for the first time one hungover morning when I noticed it was on Game Pass after taking a passing interest upon seeing the Steam page. What I was not ready for was for this to become one of my all time favourite games so quickly. It's just everything I've ever wanted in a PvE shooter since I played DOOM Eternal. As for the soundtrack, the last time I entered a level and was left physically slack-jawed by a game's soundtrack was Kadingir Sanctum in DOOM 2016. Energy Center's track Digital Spells is absolutely UNREAL.

[@jackjenkins3309]

Glad to see you cover this game, featuring on this channel should give it the player bump it rightfully deserves.

[@chancesloan901]

Bricky talking about playing a game you've finished is Gungeon for me, love that game with a passion and will always play when I'm bored

[@christianholbrook2686]

Congratulations on a million subscribers Bricky, and please take your time on the Mass Effect videos. I think the only person who loves that trilogy more than you is me. I'm happy for you, congratulations!!!

[@alexanderfarmer7315]

I have been, and I love it! My only two complaints: my brother doesn't have as much time to play as I do, meaning we can't do Brobot shenanigans as often, and I kind of hate there's no progress save system during runs. Its not happened often, but I've had a run lost due to power outages/surges, and it just completely ends the run, like its a game over. I get not all rogue likes can be like Dead Cells, but holy shit that game has so many QOL features, its insane they've not been adopted into the game design as a whole.

[@valentin4761]

I played this game in a convention about indie games in france where the devs are from and got to talk a bit with them while playing. They were clearly very passionnate about their work and i didnt want to stop !

[@Valakzl]

Thank you for covering this game played it with a friend when 1.0 came out and we ended up playing till 4am a few too many times lol. Such a fun and refreshing game with an amazing soundtrack to boot!

[@TheMegaOnyx]

I got the game on gamepass, got all the wrenches, put down the difficulty down so i had an easier time beating the end boss... After that, i had no reason keep playing the game...

[@Blazehoof]

It's a fun game, but it's still just "Gunfire Reborn at home"... But I would really like it to be more :) And now you made me wanna play it again... XD

[@bogdanyuriev1507]

My favourite part about Roboquest, especially post-Arsenal update, is that the time limit and branching paths reward you with better gear or resources. If you can clear the first half of Ruins under 3 minutes, why not ONLY take the S-rank (which gives you more upgrade points), but also visit the Junkyard for a challenge that will DROWN you in those sweet sweet cells + spice melange to make a legendary? Makes it feel MUCH less of a chore compared, say, to RoR2's Ambry/Void Fields or GR's challenge rooms

[@Flailmorpho]

been playing this game since early beta where weapons had categories you could level points into using. Turned out that system was kinda restrictive so they scrapped it. I'm so happy that you're covering this game it's so good and so underrated, genuinely one of my favorite fps games of all time

[@Rihadso]

1:26-1:28, if we are being technical, Korea was a part of Japan at one point. (1910-1945)

[@deathdiamond15]

I played it during Early Access and on launch. I LOVE the game A LOT because I love movement and roguelikes. The only issue I have with the game is that its really easy to unlock everything (30hrs give or take) and I feel like there isn't much replay value afterwards. I just need a lot more content personally. Good thing is that they have an update roadmap so I'm looking forward to all that. Still a solid recommend with a friend to play with!!

[@Porkor23]

I just got this game yesterday and saw that nobody has really covered it extensively yet. Thank you so much for shouting this game out it is SO MUCH FUN!😁

[@ElizaBungus]

I was going to recommend Gunfire Reborn as well since it's really similar, but then i realized that you could literally swap the background footage with gameplay from said game and it would be te exact same... So yeah, i think you all should give it a try.

[@donavynwalker9402]

I’ve been playing this game since it’s beta! It’s great to see it finally get some love!

[@gradygorham9520]

I remember playing this game back in open access and loved it then and love it now

[@Ashtarte3D]

I can proudly say I picked up this game very early in the Early Access phase on a whim with a friend and we loved the hell out of the game. Waited for 1.0 and was well worth the wait. The only complaint I have is it lacks the staying power of other roguelikes such as Binding of Isaac, Hades or Dead Cells. I put a few dozen hours in and that was great fun, but not enough build variety to compete with my hundreds of hours in each of the big three roguelikes.

[@maslnaa]

the buildcrafting capable in this game really opened my eyes to how good the roguelike genre can be when done right. this game is phenomenal and deserves to be played by literally anyone with the ability to buy and play it

[@Viper3-1.8th]

thanks bricky my productivity is now 0%.... this game is soo good why haven't i heard about it until now ?!

[@Pottzy]

I played this when it fully launched a few months ago and it's so fun and addicting. The movement/gunplay is so damn smooth

[@ryanadams0922]

Congrates on your Million sub Brick

[@ElminsterCourtMage]

I think if I had one complaint about this game (at least in console) is that I wish you could choose what button to bind the grappling hook to instead of having it be your interact button no matter what

[@WTFChickens]

Will have to pick this up. I remember choosing between Roboquest and Deadlink for my rougelike pick last Summer. I do stand by my pick. Deadlink feels great and plays similar to how you're describing here and I recommend trying it out, it's less boarderlands and higher risk of rain

[@lucara]

I'm not a FPS Player at all, but I just tried the demo and I got to say, I get the appeal. It's one of those "one more round" kinda games 😊

[@the_jones528]

This game is absolutely goated. Also, they really should up their marketing cause this is exactly the kind of games I love, and I only NOW heard about it one year later from a buddy of mine. Hell, I've been listening to the soundtrack of the game this whole time and never even knew it was from a game! I just love Noisecream. I hope this game keeps updating man.

[@eugenes4176]

The soundtrack to that game is Hotline Miami levels of phenomenal. Noisecream did a fantastic job.

[@bushwookiee4690]

i just want a class like a titan where you can smash the ground and a wave of elemental damage of your choice comes from your slam and have a modifier that will call down elemental "lighting" strikes and another for elemental tornatos

My fav bot is rocket bot. If you speck just right you can use his melee as no cooldown mega damage sniper rifle

Been playing this since first early acess was available, love to see this beauty of a roguelite getting some great notoriety

[@SoulSpartenGaming]

I remember when I say this first come out a friend and I tried it and put it down because it wasn't nearly done yet but the music and game play were fantastic. Glad to see it's ready to pick up again

[@thealgerian3285]

[@koalatv315]

Hey Bricky, I found you back in the day thanks to Magikarp/Matt when you were playing league together. Greatly enjoyed your guides back then, and since I also played pretty much every game (aside from Destiny) that you made videos on, I kept on watching and greatly enjoying your content. I want to thank you for 8 great years of videos and showing me lots of great games and to gratulate you for finally getting the 1 million subs. You earned them. Bricky you hack ❤ to many more years I should've listened to your warning in the Outer Wilds Video Why is Warhammer so expensive I hope Matt is doing well Love, a fan

[@Et3rnalFlam31]

Glad to see more people talking about Roboquest I got this randomly months ago through a humble bundle month and skimmed over it to randomly redeem it and holy shit what an amazing game with a dope dev team

[@Patty-Q]

This game is such a blast. I picked it up after watching you play it on the second channel. It's quickly become my favorite roguelites along with Wizard of Legend and Enter the Gungeon

[@Ihasanart]

IRIS? As in IR-15, the robot/AI running Wraith PMC from CoD: Infinite Warfare? Cause that would be a funny cinematic universe crossover.

[@theposhbarbarian6472]

Man bricky, you should really look into synthetik: legion rising. If the weapons in roboquest can get pretty wild, the weapons and upgrades you can get in synthetik are wilder. They also have the gurren lagann gun and it is powerful.

[@hpenvy1106]

Oh I played it. It's especially good with a friend that can pick you back up.
